Carol Gorrie

Ever since I was a child I have done some kind of textile work, whether it was dressmaking, knitting, crochet or even tatting. It wasn’t until about twenty years ago that I was first introduced to experimental embroidery when I joined the Embroiderers’ Guild. In 2012 I completed my City and Guilds in Creative Textiles at Dundee College. I am one of the most recent members of Kalamkari.

I like to experiment by using all sorts of mixed media, machine and hand embroidery, transparent fabrics, dyeing, painting and printing and my work is often based on nature and words. Some recent work was based on childhood holidays in North Berwick.
